This dude was on Tosh.O years ago. The "don't do it you idiot!" was a dead giveaway. And the tens of thousands of dollars in hospital fees (insurance wasn't going to cover that one) was an added bonus.

AWOLNation's "Sail" has been cut into so many great internet videos so beautifully. Yet another one for the collection.

SlothB77:at least what he hit was loose dirt and mud and not just straight up rock cliffs.

Damn straight!

It saved him from a horrible injury for sure, but the sandy cliff also mighta been his undoing. It's really hard to see his takeoff properly [duh] but you can see a puff of dust as he jumps. I reckon the ground gave way during takeoff and he got ROCK ALL horizontal velocity. ie. Not enough to clear the outcrop.

Nearly all of these "fail while jumping off of a cliff and into the water videos" are caused by two things. The ground moving under the takeoff foot, or the takeoff foot slipping. Considering you are gonna apply the most force with that last step, makes a misstep most likely then, compared to your run up. Hey wot?

Big Ramifications:'ve seen the full video of that and I'm pretty sure his f*up was caused by the ground or a rock moving under his takeoff foot. That was a HUGE fail. Not even close to clearing that rock, too funny!

These fails generally aren't caused by misjudging distances.

// I wonder if the idiot knew the cliff was rather sandy?

People also misjudge how much forward movement they're gonna get. Horizontal speed stays linear, vertical does not. Parabolas are a biatch.

It wasn't a vertical cliff. Dumb bastard only had a chance if he was driving his tbird off the cliff at 50.

Keep going, fark video page, you haven't yet hit lowest-common-denominator all the time, but I'm sure you can make it if you try, by which I mean post any stupid bottom-feeding shiat that comes along and calling it a day.

All I need to know, usually. Risk-prone individuals tend to have poor judgment skills and poor impulse control. The person misjudged. What, and why, and how, is clearly open for debate, but if you can kill yourself by simply misjudging, it's best to avoid the situation entirely.
